Mathematics Major with Engineering or Computer Science Minor
Dual Degree with Texas Tech University
Wayland has a dual degree program with Texas Tech in the areas of engineering and computer science. In essence, a student spends three years at Wayland taking mathematics, science, and core requirements. Along with some summer work, the final two years are spent at Texas Tech taking engineering/computer science classes. Enough hours from Texas Tech are transferred to Wayland to allow a student to obtain both a B.S. in mathematics (with a minor in engineering or computer sciences from Wayland) and a B.S. in a specific field of engineering (civil, electrical, etc.) or computer science from Texas Tech. Engineering is a five-year course of study and this cooperative program gives an attractive way to receive two degrees while completing most core and mathematics courses in a small college setting.
Courses to be completed at Wayland (with a 2.00 grade point average or better)
CHEM 1401 -- General Chemistry I
CHEM 1402 -- General Chemistry II
Any four-hour life science (BIOL)

ENGL 1301 -- Composition and Rhetoric
ENGL 1302 -- Composition and Reading
ENGL 2301 or ENGL 2302
ENGL 2303 --World Literature
HIST 2301 -- United States History to 1877
HIST 2302 -- United States History since 1877
MATH 1306 -- Elementary Statistics
MATH 2306 -- Calculus I
MATH 2307 -- Calculus II
MATH 3300 -- Calculus III
MATH 3302 -- Linear Algebra
MATH 3303 -- Vector Mechanics
MATH 3304 -- Calculus IV
MATH 4302 -- Differential Equations
And three advanced math hours
EXSS 1112 --Concepts of Fitness
Two activity courses (one recreation and one fitness)
PHYS 2401 -- University Physics I (may be taken at TTU)
PHYS 2402 -- University Physics II (may be taken at TTU)

Six to twelve hours of German or Spanish is recommended. If a language is not
chosen, a student must take two upper-division courses in Social Sciences or Humanities or a two-course sequence in lower-division courses in these areas.
Courses to be completed at Texas Tech University
ENGINEERING - Six hours of sophomore engineering courses are taken in the summer at TTU during the time courses are being taken at Wayland; Professional engineering courses include approximately 54 hours.
COMPUTER SCIENCE - Approximately 48 hours of computer science courses, and six hours of electrical engineering courses. Eight hours of laboratory science may be taken at Wayland or TTU.
